The Jefferson Republican Parish Executive Committee announced the endorsement of John Schroder for state treasurer on Monday.

“I’m honored to receive the endorsement and support of the Jefferson Parish Republican Party,” said Schroder. “It’s time to bring common sense back to Baton Rouge.”

“The members are proud to endorse fiscal conservative John Schroder, and are confident that he will be a watchdog for Louisiana taxpayers and will bring a new level of accountability to the office,” said Polly Thomas Chair of the Jefferson Republican Parish Executive Committee.

This announcement comes after last week’s announcement of John Schroder leading the field of candidates for state treasurer in cash on hand for the October 14th election.
